NV 780 GTX buyers remorse from AMD 290X card

And requires your own fusion reactor to power it. I like that AMD has upped their game and I'm looking forward to the day where I can buy another AMD part, but in the days where where everything is more elegant and efficient, AMD is going the wrong way.

choosing LED TV display vs Computer moniter

Been using a 40" Samsung HDTV for nearly 5 years now and love it. I used a color calibration tool to calibrate the color, brightness and contrast. I play on game mode and it works great. TVs are not designed as view only. Manufacturers are very aware of the people with PS3, 360 or Wiis. The...

GTX700 series reviews thread

I just bought a 770 to replace my 570. Is there any reason to keep the 570 around for PhysX or something? If a game doesn't use PhysX, will the 570 go into low power mode? Is a 620W supply enough for both?

Fractal Design R4 fan intake/exhaust configuration

I haven't measured mine (2 front intake, 1 back exhaust, 1 top exhaust slow), but having the top closed off doesn't make sense to me as being better.

New Mouse and Mousepad Recommendations?

I love my Steel Series Sensei and 9HD mousepad. It's a a mastic pair that fits my hand well and gives a great gaming surface. However, the SS software sucks.

Router recommendations

If I already have a WHR-G125 and am satisfied with its wireless coverage, is there any reason I would buy a WHR-HP-G54? They both have the same RAM. The 125 has a Broadcom 5354@240MHz while the G54 has a Broadcom 5352@200MHz. The only other difference I can tell is the G54 looks to have a...

Onboard Realtek 889A audio codec

I hear a short crackle with this board when a sound plays in windows. I never hear it in games or music though. When I mentioned this problem to Gigabyte, they suggested I update the drivers. I haven't done that yet.

Realtek ALC888 onboard audio

I went from optical out on an X-Fi Platinum to the onboard sound on my new P45-UD3P (889) and I think the onboard sound is very good. My only problem is there is a short pop or crackle after a sound plays in Windows. I haven't noticed ever with music or in game.

I got the Gigabyte UD3P from Newegg because of the rebate and have loved it. No DDR3, but there's really not much value to that.

Don't forget that there are plenty of games that don't scale well with multiple GPUs. It really depends on what games you're playing specifically.

Just got off the phone with Westinghouse again. They don't do any service themselves. Instead, they contract through the reseller to arrange the fix. Best Buy has the option to repair, replace, or give store credit. If Westinghouse doesn't repair them, I'm not sure how BB would. We'll see...

Not sure. I'll find out more when I call them back tomorrow. They told me to call back 1 day after faxing my purchase info. They very well may get me another L2410NM. I kinda assumed no since they're arranging the return through BB.

Well, my Westinghouse L2410NM has stopped working correctly on HDMI. The monitor keeps flashing black periodically with both my 360 and PS3 (changed HDMI cables). Westinghouse is going to arrange for a swap out with Best Buy (where I purchased). Problem is, BB doesn't show that they have this...

Yeah, me neither. Seems like a lot of the performance minded people are using nForce, but they're also doing SLI. All I want is a single 9800gtx so I can play games at 1980x1200.
